Much better than the last bottle I had. Looks almost rosé-like with a vivid salmon pink-orange colour; piercingly bright citrus and tropical fruit flavours seasoned with honey, cinnamon and higher toned floral and horseradish-like elements. Very sweet but at the same time there's fantastic clarity and purity to the flavours with powerful acidity beneath.

Quite botrytised; full of mandarin orange and tropical fruited flavours drizzled in honey, cinnamon and other spicy notes. There's a touch of volatility initially on the nose, but that clears with air and leaves behind a very pleasant - if not particularly complex - dessert wine that's kept very refreshing with a strong acid spine.

Weekend Tasting Notes - Mostly Cabs and Rieslings: Very nice dessert wine. Honey and orange marmalade on the nose. Thick and viscous on the palate, showing enough balance to make me continue reaching for the glass. A treat.
